exemple reponse 151
A directional gyro consists of a 2 degrees of freedom horizontal axis gyro it must be aligned corrected the pilot due to rotation of earth apparent drift due to earth's rotation is 15 x sin (latitude) in degrees per hour the latitude in this case the latitude of actual position of aircraft for latitude change (flight north or south) take mean aircraft latitude the period involved aircraft's moving over surface of earth (transport wander) as gyro moved from one point on earth to another gyro maintains its orientation in space however direction of true north changes further you travel in an east/west sense greater change transport wander the apparent loss of alignment caused east /west travel its value simply convergency between two points transport wander (in degrees) = change of longitude x sin mean latitude transport wander in an easterly direction will have a different sign from transport wander in a westerly direction.
